Aerotech - Precise lasering without stitching
posted 9th July 2024
Aerotech will be showcasing innovative motion control solutions and positioning systems at Medical Technology Ireland in Galway from 25-26 September. Visitors to stand R1 will be able to find out how an extended field of view of a galvanometer based system affects the cycle rates of high-precision laser processes. The new LaserTurn 160 platform and the latest release of the Automation1 motion control platform will be on show as demo systems.
"Medical Technology Ireland is an excellent platform for us to present our latest developments for the medical industry to a broad international audience of specialists," says Simon Smith, European Director (pictured) at Aerotech. Aerotech has been supporting medical technology customers with high-precision, high throughput industry-specific automation processes for more than 50 years. The ever-growing capabilities include laser welding and cutting solutions as well as matched motion systems and components that can increase throughput by a factor of two to five.
The integrated LaserTurn 160 linear rotation system was specially developed for cylindrical laser processing applications in high-throughput medical technology applications. The high-throughput system with directly driven linear and rotary movement combines automated material handling with laser wet cutting.

LaserTurn 160 - powerful platform for linear and rotary movements
At the trade fair, the experts will then present the brand new LaserTurn 160 motion and material handling subsystem, which heralds the start of the second generation of the LaserTurn product series. The improved version of the LT1 will continue to be available with the CCS130 configuration, so that existing users can configure the system in their familiar environment. A simplified cable management system (CMS) is now available as an option. In addition, the LaserTurn 160 offers an optional ASR1300 rotation upgrade for higher throughput and also offers the ability to process tubes with a diameter of up to 4 mm.
Automation1 for all applications and systems
Visitors can also see for themselves the latest release of the Aerotech Automation1 control platform, which also handles workpiece positioning and laser control. Above all, the functional enhancements will be presented, for example, the machine setup, data visualisation and the Homing help module have been significantly improved once again. Thanks to the API support of Python API, all Python help files of the control system are now also available. Last but not least, the new cost-effective XA4 PWM drives from Aerotech can now also be integrated.
Aerotech will be on exhibition Stand R1 at Medical Technology Ireland 2024 Galway Racecourse 25/26 September.
